I could be wrong but the EPA tests use the stock wheels which are the 18 inch ones with the wheel covers. Are yours the bigger 19 inch wheels? If so then you waste about 40 to 50 miles of range easy.
This year's epas are actually much closer to truth for Tesla! Except the long-range rear-wheel drive is actually getting up to 385 versus the advertise 363. But the performance is getting like almost the exact same number

I noticed that your car preconditioned for close to an hour. This would explain a portion of the difference. I also have serious doubts that the EPA test cycle on the rollers would include preconditioning.
24 M3SR Highland in the UK, bought new 2 months ago. I’m using 190 wh/mile on a regular basis, driving normally within speed limits. Thats a range of around 300 miles or 10% better than the 271 miles it predicts when charged to 100% I drove around 100 miles yesterday, defrosting the car and charging it for around 30mins to preheat the battery, prior to leaving home when the car was indicating an outside air temp of -10 Celsius. I drove Poynton to Warrington, Parked for 2hours in a business meeting then carried on to Prescot to look at a site, then returning home. Most of my driving was on motorways cruising at around 65-70 mph and it never got any warmer during the day than 2 degrees Celsius. The consumption was around 220wh/ mile average during the day or bang on the epa. I couldn’t be more pleased, its the best car I’ve ever had including 3 E class MB’s and Several beemers
My 2021 e-niro has 455 km wltp range, with careful driving I can make it 500 km, speed about 100 km/h 450 km, 125 km/h 350 km range. New Hyundai ioniq 9 has 110 kWh battery pack and 620 km wltp range.
I have a M3 SR (China-built "Highland" M3 with small LFP battery) with 3500 kms on the clock. Car's rated range at full battery is 432 kms. Predicted range (at current actual average energy consumption) is 591 kms - 133% of rated. I live in a temperate climate (not too much work for aircon) in a town with no traffic lights, and speed limits between 60 and 80 kmh on the roads I use most, so ideal for efficiency, but still pretty impressive. My earlier car was a 2020 M3 Long Range (2021 model year). Over its ownership it achieved around 110% efficiency (but this car has the 19 inch alloy wheels which no doubt impacts overall aero efficiency). Anyway the Highland is very impressive, and a much quieter and more refined drive than the original Model 3.
Didn’t you car precondition? Unless you were plugged into the wall, that’s not accurate testing. I had an older 2019 without a heat pump and precondition or heating general hit the battery really hard. I could go to work for over two weeks without plugging in but colder months (not snow but pretty cold) would hammer the battery causing me to need to plug into every week. That’s not precondition even I think that’s just the hvac system working.
On recent 1200mile road trip i got 275 mile range at 1/2 way point and 252mile range at end, so averaging 260mile range which I think is pretty good. I don’t drive like Miss Daisy, but also not flooring it.
I recently did a 300 mile round trip in my '24 LR RWD and got 3.86 miles per kWh. It was also the first time I used a supercharger in the 3k miles Ive owned the car. It took 25 minutes to go from 30 to 80 percent. Its a great car for home charging and averaging 5 miles per kWh around town and commuting but definitely taking the gas vehicle on future trips.
Roadtrips are amazing with the Tesla depending on your needs. I drive to Florida from New York every year to spend time with family for the holidays. It’s super comfortable and charging is hassle free. I plug into use the bathroom maybe get a snack and it’s done charging or close to it. Charging has been updated significantly since 2019 when I first started, used to be able to eat a meal while charging, now charging is done before I finish buying food😅.
2023 sr m3. 83 mile round trip to work daily. 75mph highway for 71/83mi 80% charge to start. 28-30% end. 166mi is a far cry from the 258 my car predicts at 100%
I pick-up my new Tesla M3 SR just a few days ago in the UK and drove it from the delivery center to my house, which is 64 miles away. I used only 61 miles of range, despite driving a couple of miles above the speed limit. 🤩🔋⚡
2024 M3 LR RWD here in US. Getting 20.3 kW/100 miles, much better than the SR RWD EPA estimate of 25/100. Of course my car does not have the LFP battery.
You can do anything in a Model 3 that you can in a civic hybrid and NOT carry around two power plants. I went coast to coast round trip in 2019 in my Model 3. Last year, went roundtrip from california to missouri. Easy road trips.
Well I’ve never been able to with standard range plus models with 2 different cars. I take care of the battery, don’t drive fast, preheat the battery… not sure what the deal is
@@griffinsgarage96 If you divide the driven kms with the supercharged kwhs, than the results also shows the charging losses. You should test maybe like this: - charge full at home - drive from A to B and to A - repeat until car shows 0 km range (make sure to end the trip as close to point A as possible) Now you have the cars real range. Please note the variables also (speed, temp. inside and outside, tire size and pressure, etc).
It's lfp, so why wouldn't you charge it to 100%? That's one of the main advantages of the lfp chemistry. A full charge is also needed for battery management and effective range balancing. Not a real range test at all imo. 😢😢
It is not Tesla who is lying about the range. It is the EPA. Why would anyone think that testing a car *in the real world* would have the same rating as testing a car *in the lab* on a dyno. The same thing appears when you compare EPA ratings on gas cars... real life range is less than EPA numbers.

“A couple of miles” 😂 congrats on the new car! Thanks for watching and please consider subscribing
Probably going down grade
You said you precondition the battery for one hour. Why did you do that? Doing this eats alot more energy.
7:43 What caused the loud fan noise while charging?
Cooling the batteries I believe

Interesting! Thanks for sharing your experience
what is your wheel size? 19 inch wheels will have significantly worse efficiency.
18 inch aero rims
I'm still contemplating whether to buy tesla 3 or the honda civic hybrid.
You know my choice 🤩
You can do anything in a Model 3 that you can in a civic hybrid and NOT carry around two power plants. I went coast to coast round trip in 2019 in my Model 3. Last year, went roundtrip from california to missouri. Easy road trips.
EPA is the Data that Tesla gives them. Nothing else.
I had the 2018 model 3 long range for more than six years. Never achieved rated range ever. Not even close!
That’s good to know, and I’m not surprised! Thanks for watching and please consider subscribing
87% ?? Why??
Range has always been Tesla smoke and mirrors. Just drive the car and enjoy it. Watch percent charge instead of Mi/kl
Exactly 🎉
Come on honestly all car manufacturers gas or electric do the same thing there's way too many variables to be exact LOL
Not with the new model 3, EPA got to them. This time around they underpromised and overdelivered.
But you put the heating to 22. That consumes a bit more😂
A little bit but it was minimal in the energy tab breakdown. Mostly from the driving!
😮😮
:)
Someone pretending to be you on Instagram
but yet multiple channels have surpssed epa range

It’s been proven that LFPs still shouldn’t be charge to 100% and left at that state of charge.
Tesla has always lied about their range…. So just be happy you have a Tesla

I still love the car! It’s just a little disappointing
My Jeep gives more range than that and it’s very accurate. teslas are a piece of junk.
